  • Title: Partial hypoglossal to facial nerve anastomosis for reinnervation of the paralyzed face in patients with lower cranial nerve palsies: technical note.
    Author: Cusimano MD, Sekhar L.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1994 Sep; 35(3):532-3; discussion 533-4. PubMed ID: 7800149.
    Abstract:
    Reanimation of the paralyzed face in patients who have coexisting lower cranial nerve palsies is a difficult management problem. Classic hypoglossal to facial nerve anastomosis may be devastating in these already compromised patients. We describe a technique of partial hypoglossal to facial anastomosis that can preserve hypoglossal nerve function and provide adequate facial reanimation.
